International Day for the Preservation of Ozone Layer: September 16 is designated by the United Nations General Assembly as the International Day for the Preservation of Ozone Layer commemorating the date of the signing, in 1987, of the Montreal Protocol on substances that deplete the ozone layer. The closure of the hole in the ozone layer was observed 30 years after the protocol was signed. Due to the nature of the gases responsible for ozone depletion, their chemical effects are expected to continue for between 50 to 100 years.

The talk is to create awareness about the ozone depleting substances, the effects of ozone layer depletion and the role of individuals in protecting the ozone layer.
